On his last day in Germany, as part of the investment promotion tour organized by InvestChile and the Chilean embassy in the country, Minister Nicolás Grau and the agency's director, Karla Flores, met with companies and authorities mainly specializing in innovation and development.
In the morning, and also in the company of the Chilean Ambassador, Magdalena Atria, the Secretary of State met with representatives of the SMS Group, with whom he discussed productive transformation. The German conglomerate is currently working with Grupo CAP in Chile to support the transition of the steelmaker's operations to low-carbon production, enabling it to produce so-called "green steel". It should be noted that CAP will develop a green hydrogen pilot plant to decarbonize its production.
Subsequently, the Secretary of State met with Dr. Marc Bovenschulte, director of the Institute of Innovation and Technology (iit), in order to hear about the German government's priorities on industrial policies and productive linkages, as well as the implementation of the "Go Cluster" program, which supports -among other things- their development and internationalization.
The investment promotion roadshow will continue on Thursday in Paris, where the delegation will join the presidential delegation.
